[Euro] Hondata Update

There are too many dubious claims and data in that brochue to warrant any further comment. Buyer beware..........

that sure can't be euro on that dyno!!!

They say the powerchip does not interfere with the Honda warranty.

I think Honda may have a different view if, for example - there was a problem with the Honda ECU and it needed to be replaced. Or perhaps if there were engine problems due to the increase in power.

Sure there is speculation in all of this - but I don't think Powerchip can say how Honda may view the chip.

Damn this is exciting to heaar...hopefully the bang will = the hype so far around it..

since its software change as discussed..i assume this means you could flash back to stock?...i dont know why you would want to ... but yeah whats the go with that ?

any more news on the hondata?

Extractors and exhaust would probably provide similar or slightly greater peak gains but they would be much less noticable than the ecu treatment given the huge gains throughout the rev range.

Also waiting to see if HonData will be available in Perth for 2006 Euro Sport/Euro models.

And if there will be a local installer / tuner in Perth :)

More news..... Doug from Hondata USA was here the other day and they did some more testing. I am now running DC5 Cam gear on my engine which I beleive James maybe offering as an option this alters the cam angle by up to I think 50 degress (but don't quote me). I don't know the full story but they were running better than 135+KW at the wheels with the honda standard exhaust and extractors and only the ECU tuned. I don't know the full details but I will ask James to post information on his other site. The exhaust and extractors are being shipped as we speak so they should be here in a week. Once double checked against the car they should be on the market... Sorry I can't say anymore cause I am not sure about the finer details.

OMG woot =D this is the best news i heard all week

The nm figures thru parts of the rev range don't make sense!!!They're overvalued.325nm@6500 rpm in std form???i thought max.torque is 223 nm@4500?There's something not right here.:confused:

Sounds GOOD please keep us posted.I'm hanging off doing any mods to my car untill the Hondata gear arrives.By the way,Peekay,the cam gear you are testing is it a replacement cam actuator(i think that's what it's called)or replacement cams.Cause i've heard you can rep.the euro actuator with one from an integra or crv!Apparently these allow for cam angle up to 50 deg.wereas the euro 1 only allows for up to 25 deg.can someone here verify this?cost is approx.$240.00 plus fitting(4 hrs to fit):p

I can confirm the Cam timing Gear was replaced not the Cams.
